NIRVANA code

PI: Udo Ziegler, AIP

COntributions: Oliver Gressel, NBI, Kobenhagen, Denmark

NIRVANA is a grid-based C code which numerically integrates the time-dependent equations of a multi-physics system consisting of non-relativistic compressible magnetohydrodynamics, various dissipation processes, self-gravity and a heatloss source term. The code works in 2D/3D Cartesian/cylindrical/spherical geometry and makes use of state-of-the-art numerical methods. NIRVANA allows for adaptive mesh refinement in order to handle multi-scale flows and is MPI parallelized.
